Sonia sets sights on championships

SONIA O’SULLIVAN is confident she will be back on track in time for the new season and that she will be competitive come the world championships in Paris in August.

The Olympic silver medallist is currently in Albuquerque where she is being treated for an achilles tendon injury by the world’s leading sports injury therapist, Gerard Hartmann.

She travelled there from Australia last week with her daughter Sophie, after an MRI scan revealed a tear on the troublesome tendon.
